WWI Boots Restoration

These are a pair of historic WWI era replica boots from Corcoran that I purchased on ebay with the intention of learning the art of leather distressing. I’ve used a combination of oils and sanding to get them back to more of a natural finish and wear pattern. They are a work in progress but I though I’d post a few pics of them as they stand just for fun.

I’m still learning how to use certain finishes of stain to darken areas that I’ve distressed back up in a realistic way according to actual vintage wear patterns.
